SHIP BUILDING ON HUGE SCALE
Board Plaits Two Billion Do'olar Pro.
gram. Calls on Congtess.
Washington, Jan. 4.--Plans for a
$2,000,000,000 government shipbuilding
program wee'o revealed today when the
shipping board asked congress for
authority to'place $701,000,000 worth of
additional ship contracts. At the same
time an. immediate appropriation of
$82,000,000 waa asl.ed for the extension
!of chipyard and for provi(lihg hou;
ing faellitiea for workmen. Thus far
the board has becn authorized to spend
for sipi)building $1,234,000,000, con
tracts for most of which ha:ve :.een
awa rded. Today's request b' 'ngs the
estimates of funds needed for- ship
lt!iding to $2,018,000,000. ''he addi
tional funds are to be put largely into
faLricatcd steel ship contracts.
No new shipyards are planned by
the board. The fabricating yarda have
contracts for about 500 ships now
which will keep thcn constantly em
)l)!yed in 1911', 'but the board is anx
ious' to place more contracts and begin
on the task of 1 rovidling materials.
The hoard'. houz!ing plans call for
the expenditure o4 about $35,000,000.
Th remlainder of the $82,000,000 asked
will be u(sed to expand present ship
yards.
The senate commerce co:mni ttoe in
vestigating shipbuilding took up to
dIaty alleged high profits allowed in let
ting contracts, wooden ship construc
tion and the subject of housing.
Questioning of Theodore E. Ferris,
chief constructor for the emergency
fleet corporation, in connection with a
report by the corporation's district
otlicer at Seattle, brought out that the
ClinghileId Navigation Company of
New York, was alleged to have obtain
ed profits amounting to $743,000 on
ship contracts, when in fact the com
pany was not an actual builder of
ships. The compan,, it was testified,
sol(d to the government at a profit of
$12o.00) fout rhi;ps which the Sloan
SipbuilIE Idiug Corporation of Sea tti
wa.s b)uildingl fo:' it, and it received a
connmission of $123,000 on contracts it
obtained from the Fleet 'orporation
for 12 shi I s wlic'h the f:oan Corpora
tion ia now building.
Mr. Ferris denied that he has any
thing to do with the contracts, hut
said he introduced ofilcers of the
Clinehfleld Company to Maj. Gen.
George W. (oethals, formerly general
inana'ger o' the fleet corporation.
Cond!tions affecting the Construlct Ion
of wooden ships were outlined by F.
A. Brown, general purchasing ollicer
for the fieet Corporat ion and 1P. L.
Sanford, a member of the Southern
P'ine I~merrency Bureau. Mr. IBrown
explained the fleet corpor'aton's grant.
ing of an increase in lumber price
and said that it was fully justifIed in
view of the tact that timber sizes were
made la'-ger. I e said that the sizes
wore made ro large that. pilne prod
ers (clid not make deliveries, ha'. that
the corporation expected to have deliv
mred f''om Oregon within GO dlay:
enotigh to finish the heavier Iimbers
for 201) wooden ships.

is entertained that the "pledge" of
